The town of Stennard finds itself in desperate need. The crops have failed and famine is imminent. In a bold effort to save the town, the constable sends their best hunters in search of game, treading into the forbidden lands to the west. When the hunters fail to return, a final call goes out, “will someone please help us?” but only your unseemly mob of cutthroats and fortune-seekers are willing to take on the task. Are you a part of the cure to the encroaching corruption or just another symptom of it?
